The older I get the more I love Fall. The colors are so beautiful....something I never appreciated before. When I was younger I hated Fall....it always meant back to school, summer fun was over and that the dreaded wet winter was just around there corner.....but now I can't help but enjoy this time of year. The trees are changing colors, there's a smell in the air just can't be described and best of all it means it's Halloween time!
I love Halloween, although it does make me long for the days when my kids were little. We still go to the Pumpkin Patch together and carve pumpkins but gone are the days of watching the excitement on their faces as we go door to door for the next piece of candy. But this time of year is still so much fun. Another reason that Halloween is so special to me is because it is the day after my son's birthday. I remember when he was born as if it was just yesterday....I was released from the hospital at 2pm on Halloween and I promptly headed home with my new baby to dress my daughters up in their costumes. We then put the baby in his stroller and headed out for a night of trick or treating.....yes, I was out trick or treating with a newborn baby. I wouldn't have missed this time with my girls for anything....but let me tell you, by the end of the evening I was not walking so well.
A side note....today is Kyrah's 2nd birthday! Happy Birthday!!! She deserves her own blog post so I will be doing it at another time....her birthday party is tomorrow so I will take plenty of pictures.
